Black Garlic Hummus

Black Garlic Umami is a gourmet product derived from Polesano DOP garlic. Our company employs a lengthy natural maturation process, controlling temperature and humidity for over a month. During this period, white garlic loses its strong flavor but gains a soft texture and a taste resembling licorice, with an umami note reminiscent of balsamic vinegar or soy sauce. This makes it ideal for enhancing the taste of meats, fish, cheeses, and vegetables. It is particularly suitable for those who tend to avoid traditional garlic, as it is more digestible. It can be used raw in various dishes, including pasta and risotto.

A cream can be prepared by blending the cloves with a little water and oil, perfect as a seasoning or spread on bread, also ideal for vegetarian and vegan dishes. Black garlic has a higher concentration of antioxidants compared to white garlic, contributing to the well-being of the body due to its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Scientific studies have shown a significant increase in nutritional properties compared to white garlic. Its great advantage lies in its greater digestibility and the absence of allicin, making it a renowned ingredient for its versatility in creating a wide variety of recipes.
